Start my own business
Career & Finance: Self-Employment

Why do you want to do this?

For self preservation and wanting to get rid off that gnawing feeling that comes with living paycheck to paycheck. I also happen to be pretty ambitious and don't see any reason why the people who presently enjoy the liberty of not relying on a paycheck should be the only ones having all the fun :-)

What three things will you need to make this happen?

I've currently bought my domain name as this is going to be an online business.

I've also started to order some of my products wholesale si they're ready for shipping once my orders start coming in as I've noticed that they take a while to get here.

Advertising tips, anyone?

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Money. I'm unfortunately starting way smaller than I'd like to.

As far as #3 (advertising tips) -- I would definitely tap into social media. Share your aspirations on facebook, twitter, and of course, mylifelist. Talk to co-workers, friends, people in line at the grocery store, anyone that will listen. Business cards are still a powerful tool, even in a digital world. Handing out one or two a day can do wonders. Best of luck and I look forward to seeing more updates on your progress!
